Answer 2

Harringay, Haringey and Hornsey all derive from the same root of haeringsay - over the centuries they've just become spelled differently



this area used to be in the County of Middlesex, but when it was swallowed up into Greater London they created the London Borough of Haringey and within that borough there are the districts of Harringay and Hornsey



if you want more information get in touch with the Hornsey Historical Society http://hornseyhistorical.awardspace.com/index.htm - if you live locally you can visit them at The Old Schoolhouse on Tottenham Lane (they've got a good range of interesting publications about the area)
